Beryl Windsor who organises the Angel Canal Festival sent me a rather wonderful picture painted by her son-in-law Nick Walker of LPMM dancing in 2011
(apologies that it's taken a couple of months before posting it!)

We're dancing on the zebra crossing outside the Prince of Wales
Beryl has some photos too, she says: "the ones I like best are where there are no feet touching the ground!"

We'll be back this year on the first Sunday in September, looking forward to it

We were in Notting Hill on Thursday, to the Elephant and Castle, where we've been coming for 50 years or more, since the legendary days when the club would retire to Webber's rooms locally, and the Gedford Bardens tradition was formed, and, to one of our favourite pubs: the Uxbridge Arms, in what locals call "Hillgate Village"
It's just tucked away south of Notting Hill gate itself but there's quite a different feel than the bleak modernity of the bit by the underground station

Here's a photo of us outside the Uxbridge Arms, which is all decked out for the Jubilee:
